Appointment of Former Air Marshal Jitendra Mishra Jitendra Mishra, former Air Marshal who commanded western air operations during Operation Sindoor, was appointed as the first CEO of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust on Wednesday. The appointment came amid growing scrutiny of the trust’s governance and financial management.
Opposition Criticism and Allegations Senior Congress leader Rashid Alvi questioned the appointment, suggesting a hidden link between Mishra’s role in Operation Sindoor and the trust. Imran Masood added that Mishra’s ties to the RSS could jeopardize the trust’s independence, while IUML MP Haris Beeran highlighted concerns over irregularities in donations and the lack of investigation.
Impact on Trust Governance Critics argue that appointing a retired military officer instead of a seasoned temple administrator raises questions about the trust’s priorities. They contend that the government’s move may shift focus from addressing financial irregularities to political optics, potentially affecting donor confidence and the trust’s long-term operations.
